Counterexamples to the $L^p$-Calder\'{o}n--Zygmund Estimate on Open Manifolds

TL;DR

This paper constructs specific open manifolds where the classical $L^p$-Calderón--Zygmund estimate fails, demonstrating the necessity of additional geometric conditions for the estimate's validity on manifolds.

Contribution

It provides explicit counterexamples on open manifolds showing the failure of the $L^p$-Calderón--Zygmund estimate, highlighting the need for extra geometric assumptions.

Findings

Counterexamples for all $p eq 2$ and dimensions $m eq 2$

Failure of the estimate on certain open manifolds

Necessity of additional geometric conditions

Abstract

Based on a construction due to B. G\"{u}neysu and S. Pigola (\textit{Adv. Math.} \textbf{281} (2015), pp.353--393), for each $p \in [1,\infty]$ and $m \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$, we exhibit an $m$-dimensional Riemannian open manifold $\mathcal{M}$ on which the $L^p$-Calder\'{o}n--Zygmund estimate \begin{equation*} \|\nabla \nabla f\|^p_{L^p} \leq C_1 \|\Delta f\|_{L^p}^p + C_2 \| f\|_{L^p}^p \qquad \text{ for all } f \in C^\infty_c(\mathcal{M}) \end{equation*} is false for any $C_1, C_2$ depending on $m$ and $p$. Therefore, one must impose further geometric conditions on the manifold to ensure the validity of the Calder\'{o}n--Zygmund estimate.
